Is It Gold’s Time to Shine?

JT Long of Streetwise’s The Gold Report talks with Frank Holmes and portfolio manager Ralph Aldis about whether or not it’s the right time for investors to get back into gold after the precious metals market has been depressed for a few years now. Frank says there are two pillars of demand that help his team determine whether the timing is right: the Fear Trade and the Love Trade. In particular Frank explains gold’s inverse relationship with interest rates and how its demand is reflected during gift-giving holidays overseas.

Ralph Aldis updates JT on the performance of several of his favorite mining names, including some specific names in Australia that he is very happy with.
